The system’s new wireless monitors will integrate with the hospital’s electronic medical record platform and can be accessed from nurses’ stations, smart phones and other electronic devices from within the hospital or a physician’s office across town. This remote, real-time monitoring will improve patient safety and care and reduce parents’ anxiety when children are in the hospital. The cost of the new system is $200,000.

Donations for the new pediatric monitoring system may be sent to: St. Peter’s Hospital Foundation, 2475 Broadway, Helena, MT 59601 or at www.stpetes.org (click on Support). For more information, call 444-2370.
